Ticino

Team Excursions in the Ticino Region

Benvenuto al Ticino e a presto! The Mediterranean, romantic, and picturesque Ticino with the charm of the Italian Switzerland will also captivate and delight you. For seminars, meetings, and conferences, Lugano on Lake Ceresio, Locarno and Ascona on Lake Maggiore offer an international congress and hotel infrastructure with fascinating supporting programs and a strong incentive character. As a wine-growing canton, the Merlot grape is particularly well known. The winemakers invite you to a Bacchic tasting. The authentic valleys “Valli” with their typical grotto restaurants are easily accessible and also offer a wide variety of outdoor activities. Bellinzona, the capital of the canton, takes you back to the Middle Ages with its proud castles. The southern valley Leventina and the Gotthard Pass (2108 m a.s.l.) are considered the shortest and most interesting cross-Alpine route from Northern Europe to Italy and the Mediterranean and are steeped in world history. Travel with the Gotthard stagecoach, just like in your great-grandfather’s times. Arrival can be made directly at the international airport of Lugano or from Milan Malpensa Airport with a transfer time of 60 minutes to Lugano. From Zurich Airport, Lugano/Locarno-Ascona can be reached via the motorway in less than 3 hours. There are regular flight connections between Zurich, Basel, Geneva, and Lugano.
The canton of Ticino can easily be combined with Graubünden, Central Switzerland, Valais, and Italy.
